We make plans as if we have forever, but our time is so short and we forget. We forget to treat moments with our loved ones as special, as something we want to cherish. Michael always says to me, “I’ll never have enough time with you.”
From the man I love who travels a lot, those simple words mean more to me than anything else he could say. But I sometimes forget that he’s right, that we’ll never have enough time together. Like many others, I was stunned by the news of the sudden death of Jennifer Perillo’s husband.

Fresh Mint Gelato with Chocolate Chunks. Monday June 25, 2012 It's gelato time. Too hot to turn on the oven. Heat means you need something cool to make. Obviously I interpret that as eat ALL the ice cream.
But I would rather eat tasty homemade ice cream that you made with love in your homemade ice cream machine. Especially if it is homemade mint ice cream. You should probably eat all of it. Mint chocolate chip ice cream is one of my absolute favourites. This mint ice cream is way more awesome than that stuff you can get at the store. BUT if you don't happen to have one, David Lebovitz has a post about making ice cream without a machine HERE. Recipe: Fresh Mint Gelato with Chocolate Chunks Makes 1 Qt (1L) Ingredients: 2 cups whole milk (also works with 1%!)
Method: In a heavy bottomed saucepan over medium heat, heat the whole milk, 1/4 cup of honey and the mint leaves. Strain the mixture into another saucepan and wring out the mint leaves. Prepare the cream in a large bowl set over an icebath. Please add a comment! Lemongrass Ice Cream. Lemongrass Ice Cream I mentioned earlier that some of the best food I’ve ever eaten was in Vietnam, primarily in stalls in back alleys and nondescript restaurants.
It literally makes me want to cry when I hear of people going to Vietnam and not eating the street food (worried about your stomach? Try grapefruit seed extract). Because the food at all the restaurants catering to tourists was less than inspiring. There was, however, one notable exception: Fanny’s Ice Cream. In addition to standbys like chocolate and strawberry, they also had a number of Asian-inspired flavors such as young rice, ginger and star anise. The lemongrass is bright and refreshing, a perfect palate cleanser. Lemongrass Ice Cream Ingredients: * 2 cups whole milk * 1-1/2 cups chopped lemongrass (remove the dry, woody sections from the top of the stalks) * 3/4 cup sugar * 2-1/2 Tablespoons cornstarch * 1 cup half-and-half Directions: Combine the whole milk, lemongrass, and sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
Bolas de donut. Bolas de donut. Sí, están tan buenas como parece. En el instituto podíamos elegir como optativa entre Informática, Hogar, y Horticultura. Debería haber elegido hogar, y así habría aprendido a coser un botón que buena falta me hace, pero me dejé llevar por motivos mucho menos prácticos (estaba coladita por el profesor) y elegí horticultura.
Y así, al plantar y recolectar habas, zanahorias y acelgas, descubrí una sensación por primera vez que, os vais a reír, solo he sentido después al tener hijos: la sensación de estar haciendo algo bien, de que todo tiene sentido, de ocupar un lugar en el mundo… A veces nos olvidamos de cosas muy sencillas que nos pueden hacer sentir realmente bien! Todo este rollo para enseñaros mi minihuerto, que los que me seguís por facebook o por twitter ya conoceréis, porque soy como una mamá pesadita que va enseñando fotos de sus “hijos” a todo el mundo. Me estás leyendo, o te has despistado mirando la foto? A ver si me entendéis. Lo que peor llevo son los bichos. Mango Blueberry Greek Frozen Yogurt Recipe. We planted our first blueberries bushes four years ago, and they’ve grown from just a few sticks producing a handful of berries to full bushes with loads of berries.
I spent time in the garden last night picking blueberries and brought in about four quarts worth and left many, many more still ripening. Monkey Boy pointed out all the blueberries he wanted to eat and snacked on a few, his fingers turning blue from the juice. There’s something about picking fruit, starting with strawberries in the spring and carrying on through to apples in the autumn that brings out the kid in me, and I love to share it with my boys. The first blueberries we planted were a Northern low bush variety, and each year we’ve added a few more blueberries, all different types of high bush. The flavors range from sweet to tart, and the low bush blueberries are my favorite, probably because the flavor reminds me of Maine.

Waking up at 6:30am to go to the Minneapolis farmer’s market on a Saturday morning isn’t one of them, though. But as much as I moan and groan when getting up to go, once I am there I am in my happy place. I have my favorite vendors that I go to every weekend. One for fresh herbs and greens. The other is this family that has the most amazing fruits and vegetables. They even have hard to find fruits for this part of the world like, passion fruit, starfruit, lychee, and mangoes the size of my cats head. Keep in mind his head is bigger than a softball. On this most recent trip I was really eyeballing some rhubarb for a trifle that I will be making soon for a good friend’s housewarming party when my eye caught onto these big plump blueberries. To me, blueberries and mascarpone are one of those combinations that always turns out amazing no matter how they are combined.

You haven’t tried fried mozzarella sticks until you’ve made them yourself at home, and you haven’t tried fried mozzarella sticks until you’ve made these fried mozzarella sticks.
Marlboro Man loves American chain restaurant mozzarella sticks (he’s such an easy date)…and last night he proclaimed these the best he’s ever eaten. Then he gave me the key to his heart. Then he said he’d reclaim the key if I didn’t make these daily for the rest of his life. Awww, I kid. Here’s the step-by-step post on Tasty Kitchen: Fried Mozzarella Sticks Try them. Frito Chili Pie. We’re submerged in football right now. There’s no other way to put it. Marlboro Man is coaching my two boys’ football team, Marlboro Man and I are both tuned in and watching all the college games we can find on TV…and if that wasn’t enough, we’ve also gone to some of our local high school’s home games on Friday night. There’s nothing like high school football games to send you soaring back to adolescence.
The cool almost-fall night air…the shirtless guys painted with their team’s colors…the adorable cheerleaders, who, by the way, have way more energy than I remember having at seventeen…the Bon Jovi songs blasting on the loudspeaker in between plays. Is there some kind of requirement that high school football games pipe Bon Jovi until the end of time? It was the worst thing that’s ever happened to my fourteen-year-old daughter. High school football games also mean Frito chili pies. Last night, I whipped up some for dinner. Start with ground chuck or any ground beef you have on hand. The Best Chocolate Sheet Cake. Ever. When I posted my recipe for "The Best Lasagna Ever" yesterday, I couldn’t have anticipated that I’d wind up hearing from Draco, a real-live Italian who lives near Bologna, Italy, where lasagna was first created.
Nor could I have ever predicted I’d hear from MP, who lives in an Italian neighborhood and buys Parmiganno-Regianno by the bag, dang it. I might just go ahead at this point and clarify that yes, my lasagna is, in fact, "The Best Ever"…unless you live near Bologna, Italy or in an Italian neighborhood or anywhere near Mario Batali. Okay? Are you happy now, Draco? Now…this cake? The Cast of Characters. First, melt 2 sticks regular (not unsalted) butter in a saucepan.

Stir together. 1 teaspoon vanilla… Sigh. Nutella Cheesecake. Sometimes, you want to bake something sweet but you are out of inspiration. A few days later you're sitting on your best friends sofa and you are laughing at her because her husband is giving her grief for buying a 1kg jar of nutella!
She loves nutella, but I've never seen her with a 1kg jar before. It is just the two of them. However, she has a fabulous excuse, apart from 'they didn't have any smaller jars at the store' which is what she swears to, oh no, she is heavily pregnant! Well, I went home to my own house of only two adults (where no one is expecting) and opened my pantry door. Note: It's taken me a week to finish this post (and it's not even properly finished yet) and I'm proud to announce that (one of) my best friend's delivered a healthy baby boy less than 48hours after the nutella cheesecake pots landed on her & her husband's doorstep.
